Maps Stopped Working

After quit some time of Google Maps working I have suddenly gotten a message that says, "Opps, Something went wrong." As seen in the attached photo. Do API keys expire or something?

API keys shouldn't even be necessary any more. Try removing it. If you haven't already, update your maps to version 3. If this is a really old implementation it might need to be redone with the latest code base.

Did this help? Tips are appreciated...

Tried to edit but I get a message that says, Please place cursor in body tag... However I am clicking on the map then the "edit"in the Proprieties bar.

Do you have a <body> tag? This can happen if there is an html mismatch on the page. Maybe try moving the map to a new blank page to edit it and then you can move it back.

There is a body tag or I wouldn't be able to see the page. I also have the latest. Moving it to a new page will be a real pain since there are recordsets involved.

If you give me FTP access and a url to reproduce I can download the page and see if I can figure out what is going on.

You were right. I simply removed the API string after the "key=" and it came back. Not going to try and reinvent the wheel here. If it works I'm good and it works. Thanks ;)

Maps not working

I have the same problem however when I deleted the api key it still doesn't work. What should the line of code look like without the key, maybe I deleted it wrong?

Google has changed their policy for this.

You will need to specify an API key and you will have to go into your google account and make sure that the API for Maps as well as the API for Geolocation are enabled for that key.

I'm sorry I dropped the ball on this and it is still not working properly. Only a few of the listing are showing up. You can see here that there are only about 5 or so showing up and there are indeed many more than that. Please advise.
